games of 2019 (upcoming)

Warsaw: This 2D turn-based WWII tactics game calls to mind the likes of Darkest Dungeon, with a management angle that resembles This War of Mine. Rather than hardened soldiers, you’ll play as a far more ragtag group, sending out scouting groups and scrounging up supplies from Nazi, and recruiting more friends who want a piece of the action.

Neo cab: Being an Uber driver in the future is hell, just like the present. As the last human driver around, you’ll ferry around the odd citizens of a neon-soaked city while also searching for your lost friend, who just so happens is being hunted by the mega-corporation that runs the place. Gig labor is the big topic being addressed here, as gameplay seemingly blends elements of VA-11 HALL-A and Papers, Please to illustrate just how tough it is to make a buck when your job depends on positive ratings.

Trine 4: After dabbling in 3D puzzle platforming in Trine 3, Frozenbyte is returning to the expected 2.5D platformer of the series' past with Trine 4. The basics are the same as ever—trouble in the realm that the heroes of the Trine must work together to resolve—but the characters themselves have been upgraded somewhat: Pontius the Knight can conjure Ghost Shields, for instance, while Zoya the Entrepreneur now has access to Elemental Arrows, and Amadeus the Wizard has added balls to his repertoire. As ever, Trine 4 will allow solo or co-op play. This time around, Trine 4 will even offer a 4-player co-op mode that allows for a multiple of each character to be played if you choose.

Indivisible: After a rebellious young girl’s home is attacked and an ancient power awakens inside her, she must absorb the “Incarnations” of people she meets along the way to aid her journey. Side-scrolling platforming and party-based combat set in a hand-drawn 2D world will keep you busy while you reunite the land.

Valfaris: Everything, literally everything about Valfaris screams metal, with a dash of Warhammer space marines. Even the developer, Steel Mantis, sounds like something you’d see opening up for Cannibal Corpse. You’ll shoot, burn, and generally gore your way through a doomed fortress filled with mechs, skulls, and a mech with a skull for a face. The soundtrack is composed by one of the guitarists from Celtic Frost too, so hell yeah. Disco

Elysium: The announce date for this strange RPG was announced out of nowhere, and it's coming really soon. Disco Elysium is a detective RPG where your skills literally talk to you to chime in with advice about the case. As an amnesiac detective, you're literally rebuilding your personality as you level up, allowing your choice and skills to dictate who you become.

Chernobylite: It’s unlikely that Chernobyl’s spooky Exclusion Zone will ever go out of style, so Chernobylite tosses you back in as a former power plant physicist to find your long lost wife. The Farm 51 evidently 3D scanned the entire area, so there’s some level of realism amidst all the extra-dimensional monsters hunting you. Thankfully, you can do some hunting too alongside fellow stalkers, but they’ll just as quickly stab you in the back if it gets hairy.

Afterparty: The Oxenfree team is going to Hell, and they’re going to drink Satan under the table. More specifically, two best buddies named Milo and Lola will be challenging the dark lord, who grants anyone who can beat him in a drinking competition re-entry back to Earth. You’ll explore the outer rings of the underworld, choosing from dialogue options to affect the relationship between the two, drink mysterious concoctions for power-ups and extra dialogue options, and partake in a round of beer pong or karaoke.
